[edit]"It can be said that Ring Magazine is as classic a magazine as such others like Time Magazine, People, Sports Illustrated, Tiger Beat and Popular Mechanics."
I'm not sure what this means... -- Oliver P. 06:50, 22 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Well, I guess what I meant is that those are the magazines that American people are more or less used to see at the stands for decades and decades. Therefore, classic magazines....
Erm, okay. Thanks for the explanation. :) -- Oliver P. 07:07, 22 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Title
[edit]I think that this article should be moved to The Ring (magazine). ArcTheLad 23:56, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Ring championships
[edit]I like the addition of the paragraph. It shows a good counter point on a magazine choosing champions. I beleive some of it should be included on the list of current world boxing champions page. Maya Levy 06:12, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Klitschko
[edit]Thought I'd clarify this for the poster who thinks Klitschko should have been 'awarded' the Ring Belt. The Ring Magazine belt is not awarded- you have to earn it. In Klitschko's case this means that as he is the Ring's No.1 ranked fighter (not champion) he needs to fight the Ring Magazine's No.2 rated fighter to get the belt as the last recognised champion retired. Hope this clears things up for you. This currently means that he needs to fight Samuel Peter to earn the belt. Cheers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.173.119.59 (talk) 11:31, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
Editorial Statement
[edit]For many years, The Ring carried a statement -- probably originating in the Fleischer years -- on its first page asserting its wholesomeness, with stuff about how a man could leave it on his kitchen table safe in the knowledge that there was nothing in it that could offend women or children, and that it "jealously" guarded this reputation. If someone can find the exact wording (or details of its history) it would be a great addition. WHPratt (talk) 14:23, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
I found it and added it. Numerous online sources agree with the exact wording. WHPratt (talk) 01:31, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
If we ever have "The Ring in Popular Culture," this might be noteworthy: The web site cyberbozingzone.com parodied the famous disclaimer/elegy on its main page:
- The CBZ is a Web page which any person may download. He may leave it on his screen safe in the knowledge that it is sure to contain at least one line of matter which would be offensive. The CBZ guards its reputation jeaalously [sic]. It is entertaining, if not always clean.

Cut/paste from press release?
[edit]The last paragraph in the "History" segment reads as though it was cut and pasted directly from a press release. It seems to be not entirely NPOV. 69.8.212.254 (talk) 13:44, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
Ommission
[edit]In 1966 I received a three page write up in the RING Magazine about my career in Boxing but that year I broke my arm in the British Empire Games in Jamaica, but I met Ali and Chuvalo here in Vnacouver at their fight.
I also have the ONLY magazine in the world autographed BY BOTH Ali and ChuvalBold texto from that month when Ali and Chuvalo fought here in Vancouver Canada in which I was also in...
How do I get this listed in the Ring Magazine records as this is super...super rare magazine — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.69.184.192 (talk) 19:30, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
List of #1 P4P accuracy
[edit]Can anyone with The Ring magazine confirm the list? I don't think RJJ reigned from 1997-2004. I believe ODLH and Shane Mosley were also #1 P4P before RJJ became #1. BlizzyBlizz (talk) 01:32, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
- You added Oscar and Shane. This source: https://www.ringtv.com/403193-the-ring-pound-for-pound-history-from-iron-mike-to-chocolatito/ shows that they were ranked #1 but doesn't have dates. What source did you use?--Jahalive (talk) 23:54, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
